A confrontation at a Washington, D.C., gas station turned deadly on January 6, 2020. Twenty-one-year-old Tia Carey, a mother of two, was at a Valero on Minnesota Avenue NE when she became involved in a physical altercation with another 21-year-old woman, Tierra Posey. Witnesses reported a fight; during the struggle Posey allegedly produced a firearm and fired two shots that struck Carey. Medics took Carey to a local hospital, where she died of her injuries.

Bystanders reportedly held Posey until police arrived. Posey was arrested and charged with second-degree murder while armed. At trial the defense said Posey acted in self-defense; surveillance footage was introduced showing Carey as the initial aggressor and the defense presented evidence of Carey's prior domestic violence arrests and an eyewitness who said Carey had threatened Posey. In March 2024 a jury acquitted Posey of all charges.

Does anyone who knew Tia or was at the gas station that day have details that could add context to what happened?
